In today’s pharmaceutical-driven world, non-chemical health treatments often face skepticism and neglect. Sound waves such as ultrasound waves are well known in the medical field for medical imaging, testing and cleaning, however the use of sound waves for human health is more promising. This article sheds light on the remarkable potential of sound wave therapies, showcasing two groundbreaking innovations that offer hope for a drug-free future. Despite the resistance from pharmaceutical companies and limited integration in medical education, there is a glimmer of hope at Michigan University, a pioneering institution that embraces alternative solutions.
Sound Waves as an Alternative to Surgery.
A group of scientists discovered a method for destroying tumor cells using sound waves, which they have named ‘Histotripsy’. The team has since established a company called Histosonic to further develop and promote this innovative technique.
Histotripsy is a non-invasive and non-thermal method for removing tumors and making internal incisions through the use of pulsed sound waves. Using a precise laser-like focus, these sound waves are directed to the specific area that needs to be treated, allowing for targeted and accurate removal. Histotripsy induces ‘bubble clouds’ in gases naturally present in the targeted tissue.
The bubbles then expand and collapse in microseconds, generating mechanical forces that can destroy tissue at cellular and sub-cellular levels. The technique harnesses the power of micro-bubbles to destroy targeted tissues and avoids the ionizing energy of radiation and heat damage from thermal modalities while also eliminating the need for incisions or needles associated with traditional treatments.
Some interesting quotes to consider include:
Will Robert, M.D. Department of Urology Michigan University
The sound waves transmit through the overlying tissues without affecting them.
This could probably be done in the office instead of an operating room.
Brian Fowlkes, Ph.D., Biomedical Engineering Michigan University
To apply the treatment through the skin and never have to ever open up the patient at all.
Basically surgery at a distance.
So the patient suffers less pain and less recovery time, there’s no scar from incision.
Histotripsy can be used to treat many different diseases and many different organs - Even for treatment of the hearts of unborn children…It seems almost limitless at this point.
Zhen Xu. Ph.D., Biomedical Engineering Michigan University
And also the treatment can be really fast. Let me give you an example. So we can create the flow channel in the heart in about 1 to 6 minutes. Compared to the surgical procedure that’s done currently that would take 4 to 8 hours and you are talking about a whole team of surgeons and nurses.
It has a wide range of medical applications.
I am really psyched about Histotripsy this new technology because i think it really will change the practise of medicine.
As discussed in articles: ”Do Sound Therapies Work or Are They a Myth” and “White Noise, Pink Noise and Brown Noise” – low frequency sound waves are shown in scientific studies to create a calm state while improving many different health outcomes. High frequency sound waves on the other hand are utilised to increase alertness and focus and as demonstrated through Histotripsy high frequency sound waves can also destroy cells. The application of high frequency soundwaves for health is much more technical in comparison with low frequency sound wave applications.
Take a look at the Histotripsy website to learn more about this tech and click on the Evolution of Histotripsy video to listen to the researchers discuss the technology.
Histosonics is now funded by some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. The question remains whether Histotripsy will have the opportunity to reach the wider population or whether it will be steered in a different direction. We are all aware of the pharmaceutical industry’s focus on ongoing drug-based treatments as a source of profit, which may impact the accessibility of non-chemical-based therapies like Histotripsy.
However, with growing public awareness of alternative therapies and increasing demand for natural treatments, there is hope that non-chemical-based therapies like Histotripsy may gain more attention and acceptance in the medical industry.
Musician Professor Discovers Sound Frequency Combinations that are Said to Destroy Cancer Cells.

In the field of medical research, it is impossible to predict where the next groundbreaking idea will come from. Recently, a researcher named Anthony Holland, PhD, visited the Department of Surgery to investigate a potential cancer treatment that was unconventional. Dr. Holland is a renowned composer who has performed at Carnegie Hall and has taught at Skidmore College for 27 years.
Dr. Holland has always been interested in physics and acoustics since the beginning of his career. He discovered a book that talked about a frequency machine that could destroy microorganisms when it was tuned to the right frequency. Dr. Holland learned about resonant frequency from teaching his students to be cautious about sound conditions that produce wavelengths. He audited courses on microbiology in the past and learned how to use microscopes, grow bacteria and cancer cells in an incubator. Dr. Holland built a frequency machine and tested frequencies on easy-to-obtain microorganisms for fifteen months. Initially, nothing happened until he tried to combine more than one frequency at the same time. When he added the eleventh harmonic, the microorganism shattered under the microscope, similar to a crystal glass shattering from a soprano’s high note.
In 2008, Dr. Holland attended an alumni presentation on pancreatic cancer by his former student, Jonathan Brody, PhD, Assistant Professor in Jefferson’s Division of Surgical Research. Dr. Holland invited Dr. Brody to watch his video of the cells exploding. Dr. Brody asked if he could blow up cancer cells like that, and Dr. Holland expressed his willingness to try. Dr. Brody arranged for Dr. Holland’s mini-sabbatical in the Department of Surgery at Jefferson, and he received positive feedback from the research team, who realized the potential of his work.
Dr. Holland’s device showed some promising results in changing the size and shape of pancreatic cancer cells, indicating that the frequency could affect cells enough to destroy them. He plans to continue and publish his research while on sabbatical from Skidmore College. Dr. Brody believes that the fight against this devastating disease requires the collaboration of extraordinary individuals like Dr. Holland. Dr. Holland’s music will be for microorganisms and cancer cells, and if he does it right, it won’t be enjoyable to the audience; it will destroy them.
